Basic Guide To Leopard Gecko Genetics & Breeding 

+Luke Roberts hahaa thanks!

ik facts, I learned more in this 10 min video , than I did my 7th grade year smh

And something we want to learn about

+Weirdanimalboy omg thats awesome! thank you!! :D

Will send this to mine!

TheReal Orbitory That would be great

+starrywishy (Wishy) Me too!

Totally!

+iseslc aw haha thank you !

+Thinking Beyond aw thank you so much!! I hope it helped :D

+matt turner aw thats great! thank you!

+Steven Powers haha thank you!

+Beanus1010 haha no problem! :D thanks!

+GillieBird thank you! Im glad it was nice and clear haha :D

+Fun with Life Yes, you too! Thank you! :D

+Nathan D. Tanner thank you!

+Devon Garvey Thanks for your contributions! -Mic(FunwIthLife)

+Fun with Life loved seeing my little girl in here too! i screamed! lol!

Thanks I am so happy how it turned out!!!

+Devon Garvey haha yeah she temporarily became a male, sorry for that haha. thank you!

+Leopard Gecko haha it's fine! She doesn't mind being a father lol

*mmmmmm crunchy*

I'm gonna have a Zuppa soup leopard gecko soon (aka mack snow RAPTOR)

Natalia Flores they’re literally getting 10 new morphs like every day

+Bethany Lackey hshs no problem! yes it can get very very complex, and then im totally lost hahaaa

+Y- reptiles Rcool thank you!! :D

That's cool I've been out of high school for a couple of years so this was a nice refresher lol

+SuperPensfan8771 aw thank you!!

+Slykvein thank you!! :D

+jj86gmc thank you!! :D

+Emma Peake aww thank you!! hahaa 1 husband :')

+leejames929 haha thanks!

I am sure you can find tons of informative breeding videos if you look! if you have any specific questions you would like to ask I would be willing to be of aid.

+Austin Burton thank you!

+Gigi Perry thanks!

+eitan neustadter Agreed!

+Rebecca Nott haha thanks!

+Victoor Exotics thank you!

+Leopard Gecko plz help me out with something important. Do I need to keep my heating pad at night if the room is above 65 degrees? I am getting a leopard gecko in a few days and I really need to know this so plz plz plz respond! Thanks, I just really need to know if I should keep it on at night or turn it off.

+Devin York I leave mine on at all times what you are asking is more of a personal bias in care :) hope that is somewhat helpful

+Devin York you should always have a heating pad. they need heat to digest there foods. all reptiles and amphibians are cold blooded.

+HandsomeHerps You know your stuff. When you consider all this about the tugs and macks, its make you wonder just exactly how these are genetically similar, and how they are linked. I can't wait until we final have the leopard gecko genetics sequenced and we can really have a better understanding. _Mic(FunWithLife)

+Fun with Life Oh it really does I assume the difference in the snows goes back to where the origins of the morph was from like if tug snows came from Pakistan and mack Iraq (I know these were both discovered through breeders and not wild ) I say this a lot but I question the fact that leopard geckos even have subspecies like the facsiolotus because they just come from different regions and have a slightly diffrent build and coloration yet we can breed them and create fertile offspring? This may all sound a little unfounded as it is more my speculation. yet in captivity we produce so many different homozygotes i just wonder if these are more like another version of the dominant wild type trait or better yet a insanely inbred polygenic trait making these subspecies have slightly different appearances. I mean considering that Afghans come from Afghanistan and have a inbred heritage due to the reason of their locality.

+HandsomeHerps You're right, there is a lot of 'cloudy' veiled over the leopard gecko genetics for a number of reasons. Many breeders did not document their work appropriately for one. Another thing is that animal classification is not perfect. Through the process of classification, subspecies, etc.. are established by the scientific community. Often, as time goes on, some of these classifications are challenged and sometimes changed. This is the nature of science in general. We are always getting a better understanding of the things we already know exist. In regards to locality, there is definitely a time in history where the interactions between these members of a species would cease to exist, or only happen on very rare occasions. Basically what has happened is polygenic breeding groups are formed in the wild. Due to things such as human activity, changing environments, etc.. over the years leopard geckos have become spread out and isolated in these localities. We may find that some localities are more related than others, making them more compatible. We will have to wait for genetics sequencing to know for sure. Through breeding we can only use outcomes to hypothesize.

+Isaac Zapp awesome!

+India Brown no problem :)

+Mikel Geckos yep i edit all my videos :) thank you!

+Weston Bennion thanks! oh goodness me, i dont even know anything about cresties and genetics & breeding lol, they all look too similar to me :')

ok

+DZD Productions thanks!
